Similar to ultrasound adapting soundwaves to depict the inner structures and tissues, optical coherence tomography (OCT) utilizes low coherence light waves to assess characteristics in the eye. Compared to the previous gold standard diagnostic imaging fluorescein angiography, OCT is a noninvasive imaging modality that generates images of ocular tissues at a rapid speed. Two commonly used iterations of OCT include spectral-domain (SD) and swept-source (SS). Each comes with different wavelengths and tissue penetration capacities. OCT angiography (OCTA) is a functional extension of the OCT. It generates a large number of pixels to capture the tissue and underlying blood flow. This allows OCTA to measure ischemia and demarcation of the vasculature in a wide range of conditions. This review focused on the study of four commonly encountered diseases involving the retina including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), and macular telangiectasia (MacTel). Modern imaging techniques including SD-OCT, TD-OCT, SS-OCT, and OCTA assist with understanding the disease pathogenesis and natural history of disease progression, in addition to routine diagnosis and management in the clinical setting. Finally, this review compares each imaging technique’s limitations and potential refinements. |
